The bookstores we list here are just some of the many online bookstores, book-clubs and newspapers which now inhabit the Web. Some offer much more than just books - including everything from software to music and more - but, if it's books you're after, this is a good place to start. According to your location, you may wish to the list the bookstores by country; they can be displayed by United States, Canada, United Kingdom or all together.

Each online bookstore has its own advantages - for example, some of the bookstores listed offer used books as well as new books, some are geared more towards student textbooks or technical books while shipping charges can vary considerably throughout. Therefore, we encourage you to take some time to visit several bookstores to find the deal that best suits your requirements before actually purchasing.

Canadian Bookstores, In Alphabetical Order:

Abebooks Canadian book service is part of the Abebooks.com bookstore, which was launched on the Internet in 1996 and offers an enormous collection of rare, used, and out-of-print books through its network of over 10,000 independent booksellers. There is no Abebooks.ca destination as such, but the link we provide will direct you to the relevant Canadian information on the Abebooks website. Abebooks also offers free shipping on many items to Canada. You can also use Bublos to search for books offered by Canadian sources, and priced in Canadian dollars, using our booksearch tools.

Amazon.ca is the Canadian website of Amazon.com, the hugely popular Internet retailer and bookseller. Although started a few years after Amazon.com, the website is extremely popular with Canadian shoppers, and offers all the advantages you'd expect, including prices in Canadian dollars and shipping which is often cheaper than if buying from the U.S.A. At Amazon.ca, besides a vast range of books and music, you'll also find software, computer and video games, and much else.

eBay Canada is one of many international eBay auction websites, but is geared especially towards Canadian customers. While visitors to eBay Canada may find a smaller selection of items available compared to eBay.com, there is still a huge amount of books on sale, and thousands of other products too, with prices, as always, set by the individual sellers. If you've never used eBay Canada before, then it's easy enough to create a free account, which you'll need to do before purchasing anything.

Chapters.Indigo.ca is a leading Canadian destination for online shoppers seeking books, videos and DVDs, and is committed to providing a convenient and hassle-free e-commerce experience. Indigo was created in 1996, and then merged with Chapters Inc. in August 2001 to become Canada's largest books retail chain, and legally merged under the corporate name Indigo Books & Music Inc. Chapters Inc. was formed following the merger of Coles and SmithBooks, then Canada's two largest bookstore chains. Operating stores in all of the Canadian provinces, many customers will recognize the names of Chapters, Coles, SmithBooks, and World's Biggest Bookstore.
